Document Summary

Chapter 4 the carbohydrates: sugars, starches, and fibres. Monosaccharides: same formula with single sugars(6 c, 12 h, 6 o), include: Glucose like blood sugar, fructose-(pentose)terrible sugar-connects with lymphatic disease and diabetes, & galactose. Disaccharides: formed by condensation reaction on 2 monosaccharides and broken apart by hydrolysis reaction, include: maltose(glucose+glucose) like barley, sucrose(glucose+fructose) like table sugar, lactose(glucose+galactose) like milk. Polysaccharides: large chains of monosaccharides, typically chain of glucose. Include: glycogen: storage form of glucose usually in muscles (unshared only for muscle) and liver(shared for rest of the body), starch: glucose necessity for plants, long/branched/unbranched chains, found in grains, legumes, & root crops, Fibre: structural part of plants has 2 types soluble/insoluble. Glycogenin protein that forms glycogen attachment with glucose. Starch form of amylose -less things to digest unbranched chains cellulose makes up the cell wall in plants **human can"t digest cellulose, since it is an insoluble form of dietary fibre.
